Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is having a generational award season. While it was stripped of its wins at The Indie Game Awards, the title cleaned up at 2025's The Game Awards, breaking Baldur's Gate 3 and The Last of Us Part 2's record for the most wins in the show's history. And that is, of course, far from its only sweep.
Further analysis has found that the game has now picked up over 400 Game of the Year awards from across the industry, needing only a handful more to overtake Elden Ring's record haul.
Things show no sign of slowing down either, as last night, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 scooped up the top prize at The New York Game Awards, and grabbed another gong in the process.
Last night, the New York Videogame Critics Circle held its annual New York Game Awards. As has so often been the case over the last six weeks, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, walked home with the top prize, beating off competition from Blue Prince, Split Fiction, Despelote, Sword of the Sea, Silent Hill f, Hades 2, and Ghost of Yotei.
